Tenten rolled over and glanced at the clock on her nightstand. '2:30 am...' She sat up and stretched. She flung her legs over the side of her bed and stumbled into the hallway. Tenten made it into the living room only to stop. She stared at the couch for a while before moving. She slowly turned and shuffeld back to the hall closet. Pulling out a pillow and a blanket that she normally carried on missions Tenten walked over to the couch. She gently reached out and lifted Neji's head. He realeased a breath that caused Tenten to freeze. After reassuring herself that he wasn't going wake up, she shoved the pillow under his head and spread the blanket over him. Tenten shook her head and smiled. 'Typical Neji...' she thought as she grabbed a glass of water and headed back to bed.

Ring. Ring.

'What is that God awful sound?' Neji groaned and opened his eyes. He looked around before sitting up.

Ring. Ring.

Neji turned to the table and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hello This is Namasute Yuri calling from Konoha Hospital is Tenten home?" The nurse said in a too-cheery-for-eight-o'clock-in-the-morning way.

"Yes but she's asleep."

"Oh... Well Is a Hyuuga Neji there?"

"Speaking."

"Ok well I'm calling to say that we have the results from the tests we ran on Tenten..."

"And?"

"It seems that Tenten was poisioned. It hadn't been in her system long enough to do what it was meant to do but it obviously had some affect."

'What it was meant to do?' Neji thought.

"What was it meant to do?" He asked suspiciously.

"Well.. If injested it increases your heart rate while also decreasing your chakra. If it's not treated it constricts the air way causing the person to suffocate, from lack of air, and choke on their blood since the blood flow has been increased also. It's normally only used by shinobi as a torture method."

Neji's mind was on overload. Why would someone try and poison Tenten especially with such a dangerous drug? And why was it in the food that was served at the dinner?

"Hyuuga-Dono Are you still there?"

"Hn."

"What I said was that if it was possible we would like her to come in sometime today so we could run a couple more tests on her just to make sure everthing is ok."

"I'll bring her in."

"Thank you. Have a nice day." Neji clicked off the phone and set it back on the table.

"Who was that?" Neji turned at the sound of Tenten's voice.

"The hospital."

"Really? What did they want?" Neji leaned against the table. Tenten wandered into the kitchen. looking for something to eat. He folded his arms and scowled at the floor.

"They want you to come in for further testing." That made Tenten stop what she was doing. She peeked her head around the kitchen wall.

"Testing for what?" Neji rubbed his eyes in frustration. He could feel a headache coming on.

"You were poisoned last night. It was a poison that is normally only used for torture tactics."

Tenten stayed quiet. That was wierd. Why would someone try to poison her? She grabbed her bowl of left over fish and rice and sat at the table.

"I told them I'd bring you in today..." Tenten nodded as she munched on her fish.

"Hungry?" Neji looked down and shook his head.

"I'm going to go home and change."

"I'll meet you there in half an hour." Neji nodded once and left. Tenten finished her 'breakfast' and placed her bowl in the sink.

"Time to get ready..." Tenten mumbled and walked into the bathroom.

Neji walked into the Main Entrance. He slipped off his shoes and made his way down the hallway.

"Neji?" He stopped and turned at the sound of his name. Hiroma, Hinata's mother, walked towards him drying her hands on a dishcloth. He turned to her and bowed.

"How's she doing?"

"Fine considering she was poisoned." He started to walk off.

"She was poisoned?" He stopped at the sound of Hiashi's voice. He looked at Hiashi and bowed.

"Yes... with a drug that's normally used for torture tactics."

"Hmmm.." Hiashi nodded.

"She'll be alright yes?" Neji's eyes averted from Hiashi to Hiroma.

"I'm taking her back to the hospital pretty soon... they want to run more tests."

"Oh well hurry along... Wouldn't want you to be late..." He turned and walked to his room.

Neji closed the door and pulled off his dress robe. He turned and grabbed a clean Hyuuga robe from his closet and slipped it on over his white tank top. He changed pants and brushed his hair quickly. He walked into the bathroom and brushed his teeth. He had just finished rinsing off his toothbrush when he heard Tenten's voice.

"Tenten dear how are you feeling?"

"Oh I'm fine Hiroma-Sama... My head hurts a little still but other than that..."

"That's good. You know... Neji was worried about you. He might not act like it but I can tell..." Tenten chuckled and looked down the hallway.

"Hey Neji." He ambled down the hallway and stopped at Tenten's side.

"Ready?" Tenten nodded and Neji led her out the door.
